A search had been underway since Sunday evening, when Garmer failed to return home after leaving around 1 p.m. with the intention to ice skate on the bay.
Deputies were dispatched to the area, and members of the public were asked to review any potentially relevant camera footage.
Assistance was rendered by the St. Louis County Rescue Squad, the Superior Fire Department, the Superior Police Department, and the Minnesota State Patrol, with the latter agency sending a helicopter.
Woodstock Bay has recently seen renewed attention after the September completion of a $1.6 million waterfront park.
